The results are in...didn't they do well!

24 August 2017

Emotions
were running high this morning as the anticipation was finally over
and the day had arrived for our Year 11s to receive their GCSE
results! But again we were delighted to see the room filled with
tears of joy, happy faces and big plans from many as The Swinton
High School enjoyed another year of great results.

Our 2017 cohort are the first year group to experience the new
GCSE grading changes where, starting with English and Maths, GCSEs
will be graded from 9 to 1, with 9 being the top grade meaning this
summer our students will receive a mixture of number and letter
grades.

The system may have changes across GCSE results this year but
the outcome is the same, more star performers at The Swinton High
School. The school's top performer was Head Girl Tamara
Reilly who achieved 9 top grades amongst her set of
results, reflecting her commitment and determination across her
time at the school. Sports stars Sam Dorsey and
Jordan Burns bagged top grades in GCSE PE as well
as across a range of subjects including MFL, English, Maths,
Humanities and Science. This pattern was reflected by many students
across the year group, in particular Harrison
Porter, Laura Southwell, Emma
Williamson and Agnes Zoppa who all
achieved a number of top grades and are all going on to the next
step in their life with a fantastic foundation behind them.

A special mention goes to our MFL and PE faculties with their
truly impressive results. MFL achieved
an 81% pass rate and
PE achieved 94%.

We would like to pass on our warmest congratulations to all our
students on their achievements, we are really proud of every single
one of you. Very best wishes and good luck for whichever path you
choose to follow…we know you will have bright futures ahead of
you!
